GUIDE to Human Technology in Into the Chasm of Night and Shatter the Dream
amiga-notebook computer with plug and play interface capability. In the Alliance, the best models are Vree
analog-holographic interface projection system tied into the ansible, the teledyne and the other information transmission reception and processing systems that are X-technology based.
ansible-Hyperspace boundary effect radio.
ayeye-A. I. artificial intelligence construct, a sapient computer.
battle imager-Centauri version of the Analog; it is not information interactive and is more like 3-D television.
boser-X-technology beam weapon that uses bosons (Currently the type particle emitted is unknown, though it is postulated that the Shadow technology beam emitter may vary the bosons to match target characteristics and desired effects to the binding force desired to be broken) to inhibit the flavor of a quark and thus break quark bonding for pairs, triplets and quintuplets.
drift mines-ballistic mines originally released in the wake of a fleeing Human ship to discourage enemy pursuit. There are a variety of warheads including fusion bomb, bomb-pumped sandcaster, an optical track/scan instrument package and whatever else Humans can dream up.
HAWK-lithium hydride solid-fueled fusion rocket with a massive Ullam Teller bomb as its payload. It is a fusion warheaded missile that only detonates upon mechanical impact with its intended target. This is to prevent pre-detonation by enemy countermeasures that could prematurely activate sensor based fusing. It is also designed to get around the most telling drawback of nuclear weapons in space, The limitation to flash and minimal pulse due to the lack of a sustainable ground path to the target for the conduction of kinetic and charge effects (Vacuum) if the bursting device is not within the primary fireball radius of the target.
incubator- an X-technology "pod" that grows tools and machines to need, using an iron technology "seedling".
interferometer fire control-a method whereby Human warships by launching ballistic electromagnetic scan track/probes, that surround a Human ship like a vector halo; create a baseline interferometer that permits target vector triangulation(range and bearing data) for the laying of weapons on the target.
KMD-Kinetic Mass Driver, an application of the reactionless thruster technology that imparts velocity to iron filing sand; boosting it from a rest relative mass/velocity of zero meters per second at the weapon breach feed to a muzzle velocity of 2.95*10^ 9 meters per second. There is a final focus and aiming device at the muzzle that determines whether the sand is squirted in a stream or belched as a cloud. The stream for all practical purposes acts like a relativistic velocity machine gun. It is easily capable of gouging furrows more than a couple of hundred meters deep in a nickel/iron asteroid. A cloud of this sand launched at you at short range, is the most devastating shotgun blast (Imagine the kinetic shock effect!) you can possibly imagine, although the purpose of such a sand cloud is defensive. It is intended to break up incoming beam weapon fire by charge diffusion, particle/wave diffraction and impact into such objects as enemy fighters (flak), ballistic mines and missiles.
nanite jello-this is the substance that is the filler of Human X-technology devices. Consider it the organic technology miracle working fluid that does all of the stuff that we could possibly imagine our body could do if we were made out of fluidic steel, instead of water. It has the properties of near perfect conductivity, while being harder than the hardest diamond; and yet it can be swum in when you have the correct charge and membranic interface.
Nixon-lithium hydride solid stick fueled fusion missile with a small fusion bomb-pumped sandcaster warhead that uses the sand as a beam interdictor and as a charge disruptor. The sand, if it provides a grounding medium to the target, can act as a charge conveyor of the warhead's electro-magnetic pulse into the target.
overwriter-a specific software program that changes an entire operating system, and thus the purpose of the hardware the operating system supports.
pulsed particle gun-standard issue helium 3 pellet firing pistol.
polarizer-it looks like a gamma radiation laser that nutates out of an electromagnetically induced micro-radius hyper-mass. The beam neutralizes quark bonds in hadrons and changes their quark "color" properties. It is often confused with a boser.
slicer-beam weapon that tumbles the spin of an electron thus cutting charge bonding.
skinsuit-nanite-jello suit with its own ayeye personality. As loyal as and about as smart as a dog, it covers its master with an environmental interface that allows the wearer to operate to the physical limits of the nanite jello. The skinsuit is capable of handling body waste recycling and heat management for the organism that wears it. Only its 'master" is keyed to the skinsuit. Anyone else touching it, not properly prepared, dies on contact; as the merge interface destroys the electrochemical operating function of the biological organism. As is the case of other nanite jello-based technology, the skinsuit eats any biological it contacts with which it is not properly keyed.
teacher- X-technology derivative of the overwriter and incubator. This device teaches the nanites of an infected biological organism stuffed into it (See incubator) an operating system that the nanites then provide to their "host" as a new ayeye persona or set of memories. The interaction should be painless in the OS upload; but the infected unfortunates, so taught; swear it is like being electrocuted, boiled in acid, and eaten by ants from the inside out-simultaneously.
teledyne-Higgs boson field effect detector. It has the ability, when coupled with an ansible and displayed through an analog; to show particle mass tracks and by extension the presence of their, the particles, gravitational influence.
thumper-Ikarran technology-based particle bolter. Human version is about the size and shape of an UZI. Charges are pre-loaded into charge capacitors that are fed into the weapon like bullets. Each capacitor discharge in the weapon delivers to the target the energy equivalent of a twentieth century howitzer going off. The weapon is LOS with the path conformal to gravitation and divergence since the particle bolt has a minute mass and is charged to the environment and medium through which it fires(The fire selector reads +,N,-.). The particle bolt is an impactor that does charge as well as kinetic shock damage to the target. Figure each particle bolt carries about 1.5*10^9 joules charge to the target. Obviously there is a definite requirement to collect "caps'" after a firefight.
X-technology-Shadow inspired or derived technology.
Y-technology-Vorlon inspired or derived technology
zippy-zero point focal tap-a charge tap that plugs into the vacuum energy of the underverse that forms the true reality that Realspace and Hyperspace geometry overlays. There is a quantum potential energy function that governs how much energy you can pull out of the soup of particles that flicker into and out of our interactive perception that exists in this underverse. The most common particle that we see, that exhibits this "winking" behavior is the electron, and that is the basis for the Human version of the focal tap. It is why you will find Human(and Vorlon) propulsion systems negate the field effects of the second most prevalent technology in Known Space-that based on the graviton and gravitation.
